ing at times free, creating an active feverish
market. Operations were Of such an cratic
character as to make it difficult to clearly
catch the drift Of affairs. Though on net

deavOring to unload in the absence Of Indica-
lions of any further demand"

CHICAGO. Msrcn Is.-The wheat market
,ewas strong at the opening, May starting at
Sac. an advance Of 13c over the closing last

| and good buying by local houses. The
| market advanced to s21sc, and then fell of
| gradually to S09zc, though inside figures were
| not reached untIl late IN the afternoon, fol-
lowed by slight rally, the market closing
| for June delivery was more active, and the
difference between the two months was con-
| siderably lessened at the close of the trading.
| Receipts again showed falling on , aggre-
| eating 1866, 600 bushels at eleven points. Sea-
| board clearanoes were $1,000 bushels. There
| was very little speculation IN corn early in
the day, but as the session advanced offerings
| became very large, and they BED in
| breaking May from 40Lao TO B91se, where the
| price stood 81 the close. Receipts continue
large. with q good shipping demand. Oats
| ruled a shade easier and closed dull. Mess
